New Evo X concept earmarked for Detroit Show

With all the excitement going on in Paris we have some news concerning next year’s Detroit Motor Show. Mitsubishi motors will wait for the Detroit show to display a new prototype version of the Evolution X. This new model will be a near production concept of the forthcoming Evo, unlike the Concept X, which has been around since the 2005 Tokyo Motor Show.

The final production car won’t go on sale until the second half of next year and will be based on the GS platform shared by the Doge Caliber. The next generation Evo is likely to feature a twin-clutch DSG style transmission and an all new AWD system as well as Super All Wheel control (S-AWC). This latter feature uses torque vectoring, which can direct different levels of torque to individual wheels. The upgraded system manages braking, throttle, and suspension adjustment all in real-time.
